Multiplayer for Far Cry was a unique experience, with the Assault mode treading that fine line between tactics and action that isnt seen in any other game. While it wasn’t to everyone’s liking, some people being put off by the poor netcode and bolted on PB integration, it is the main reason that there is still an active PC Far Cry community today.
By now many of you will be aware that Ubisoft are developing Far Cry 2 for the PC. Lots has changed; Jack Carver has been left behind and the new location is Africa.
To date there has been no mention from UBI on what the multiplayer experience will involve.
Discussing this amongst the team that helped admin the Ubi EU community servers, we agreed that while Ubi may provide something fresh and exciting in this area, we couldn’t envision Far Cry without Assault.
So what could we do to ensure that Ubi was aware of the depth of our concern, and include Assault as a game mode?
Well, we considered tying Kimi, the Ubi FC2 Dev team Liaison rep to railings outside the Montreal office, but we figured the rest of the team would enjoy the piece and quiet of her and her camcorder not being around, so the next best thing was to start a petition...
"Who ever listens to a petition?"
Well that depends on how many people have signed it!
So whether like us you cant imagine Far Cry without Assault, or maybe you don’t care about this game but like the thought of a community wanting to be heard by a large corporation, please take a few moments to click the link below and add your name to the petition.
